PHI expands membership program

PHI Air Medical today announced plans to continue expansion of the company’s membership program, PHI Cares, across the state of Kentucky. The program provides members with 24/7 coverage for medical emergencies that require air ambulance transport from PHI’s five aircraft located in Kentucky, or any of their transport programs nationwide.

PHI Cares Membership Program protects members financially, in the case a portion of a patient’s bill is not paid by their respective insurance company for medically necessary transports. PHI will accept the insurance payment as “payment in full” and members will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses related to their air transport to the hospital.

“The PHI Cares Membership Program is about having some peace-of-mind for you or your loved ones in the case they need to be transported by one of our aircraft,” explains Erik Rohde, Regional Director for PHI Air Medical. “No one ever knows when a major accident or sudden medical event may occur and the last thing patients or families should be concerned with is the cost of transport. In addition, fees collected through our membership program help to support our local community initiatives, including medical education classes for the public and local EMS responders, and our participation in public service events throughout the year.”

Offering a discounted annual fee of just $40 per household at this event, PHI Cares is available to all local residents. Representatives will be available to answer questions and accept applications at the upcoming football game between the Crittenden County Rockets and the Marshall County Marshals on Sept. 30. A limited number of free drink coupons will be provided to interested parties who stop by and meet with us. In addition, fleece blankets or a PHI Air Medical baseball cap will be provided to parties who purchase a membership on site.
